About Upstairs Circus

Upstairs Circus Refers to the Brain

It’s where the wild ideas live.

We like to think everyone’s got a little circus going on upstairs: monkeys on motorbikes, glitter bombs of inspiration, and ideas waiting to take shape. So we built a place to let them fly.

At Upstairs Circus, we believe in making cool things, sipping good drinks, and having a damn good time doing both.

Why “Upstairs Circus”?

Because that’s where the magic starts. In the Brain!
We’re here to spark ingenuity, fuel experimentation, and help you flex your creative brain—with a cocktail in hand and a grin that lasts all night.

Our motto?
Celebrate individuality, creativity, and ingenuity—together.

(Also: The only thing tacky at Upstairs Circus should be the glue.)

Yes, There’s a Bar

This isn’t your grandma’s craft night (unless your grandma is supes rad).

We’ve got a full bar serving craft cocktails, wine, beer, mocktails, and more. Sip while you make, toast your masterpiece, and maybe try one more round—of the project or the drink.

The OGs of the DIY & Drink Movement

We started the DIY bar concept—and we keep raising the bar.

Whether you call it “Crafts & Cocktails,” “Creations & Libations,” “DIY & Drink” or just your favorite outing, Upstairs Circus is a vibe all its own: a space to create, connect, and let your inner maker take center stage.

We’ve been around since 2010 and are still happily creating today.
